METHODS: a cross-sectional study was performed, in which 30 women with CPP and 20 women without CPP were included. They were premenopausal women aged 18 to 50 years attending the gynecologic outpatient department of a tertiary care university hospital (Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Brazil). A CPP case was considered when presenting with recurrent or constant pelvic pain of at least six months` duration, unrelated to periods. Women who had been pregnant in the previous year or who had a history of malignant disease were excluded. Sociodemographic and clinical features were assessed. The Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire was used to investigate QOL. It provides an eight-scale profile of scores: physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and mental health. These eight domains can be summed up in two summary measures: physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). Pain intensity was evaluated using a mechanical visual analogue scale (VAS). Multiple regression analyses was used to compare QOL scores between women with and without CPP and to identify the factors associated with QOL in women with CPP. RESULTS: the mean age of women with and without CPP was 35.2±7.5 and 36±9.3 years, respectively (p=0.77). Women with CPP had a lower monthly family income (p=0.04) and a higher prevalence of dysmenorrhea (87% versus 40%; p<0.01) and depression (30% versus 5%; p=0.04) compared to those without CPP. After adjusting the analyses using potential confounding variables, women with CPP had lower QOL scores in two domains: bodily pain (31 versus 72; p<0.01) and social functioning (56.3 versus 100; p<0.01). Depression was negatively associated with the role-emotional domain (coefficient: -65.185; CI 95% -130.25 to -0.12; p=0.05) and the MCS (coefficient: -23.271; CI 95% -43.8 to -2.74; p=0.03), whereas pain intensity was negatively associated with the bodily pain domain (coefficient: -8.826; CI 95% -13.98 to -3.66; p<0.01) of the QOL of women with CPP. CONCLUSIONS: women with CPP had poorer QOL compared to those without CPP. Depression in women with CPP was associated with lower QOL. Greater pain intensity, as assessed by the mechanical VAS, was also associated with lower QOL among women with CPP. These factors should be considered when managing CPP patients in an attempt to minimize the negative effects they may exert on QOL. / OBJETIVOS: comparar a qualidade de vida (QV) de mulheres com e sem dor pélvica crônica (DPC) e investigar os fatores associados à QV de mulheres com DPC. MÉTODOS: realizou-se um estudo de corte transversal. Foram incluídas mulheres na pré-menopausa, com idade entre 18 e 50 anos, que estavam em seguimento no Ambulatório de Ginecologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Goiás. Foi considerado um caso de DPC a presença de dor não cíclica na região pélvica, constante ou intermitente, há pelo menos seis meses. Mulheres que estiveram grávidas nos últimos 12 meses ou com antecedente de neoplasia maligna foram excluídas. Foram incluídas 30 mulheres com DPC e 20 sem DPC. Foram avaliadas características sociodemográficas e clínicas. A QV foi investigada através do questionário SF- 36, que apresenta oito domínios: capacidade funcional, aspectos físicos, dor, estado geral de saúde, vitalidade, aspectos sociais, aspectos emocionais e saúde mental. Estes domínios podem ser resumidos em dois sumários: sumário do componente físico (SCF) e sumário do componente mental (SCM). A intensidade da dor foi pesquisada, aplicando-se a escala visual analógica (EVA) mecânica. Utilizou-se análise de regressão múltipla para comparação dos escores de QV entre mulheres com e sem DPC e para identificação dos fatores associados à QV de mulheres com DPC. RESULTADOS: a média de idade das mulheres com e sem DPC foi de 35,2±7,5 anos e 36±9,3 anos (p=0,77), respectivamente. Mulheres com DPC apresentaram menor renda familiar mensal (p=0,04), e uma maior prevalência de dismenorreia (87% versus 40%; p<0,01) e depressão (30% versus 5%; p=0,04) quando comparadas àquelas sem DPC. Na análise ajustada por potenciais variáveis confundidoras, mulheres com DPC apresentaram menores escores de QV nos domínios dor (31 versus 72; p<0,01) e aspectos sociais (56,3 versus 100; p<0,01). Depressão associouse negativamente ao domínio aspectos emocionais (coeficiente: -65,185; IC 95% -130,25 a -0,12; p=0,05) e ao SCM (coeficiente: -23,271; IC 95% -43,8 a - 2,74; p=0,03), enquanto intensidade da dor relacionou-se negativamente ao domínio dor (coeficiente: -8,826; IC 95% -13,98 a -3,66; p<0,01) da QV de mulheres com DPC. CONCLUSÕES: mulheres com DPC apresentaram pior QV quando comparadas a mulheres sem DPC. O relato de depressão entre mulheres com DPC associou-se a uma pior QV. Quanto maior a intensidade da dor, avaliada através da EVA mecânica, pior a percepção da QV de mulheres com DPC. Dessa forma, esses fatores devem ser considerados na abordagem da mulher com DPC, buscando-se minimizar as repercussões dos mesmos sobre a QV.
